Shift key on new keyboard

[djs0302]

I recently switched keyboards on my computer. I had a Logitech
keyboard. It works fine; I just didn't like the physical design of the

keyboard. I replaced it with an older model Sun keyboard. Now
whenever I hold down the SHIFT key while playing certain games I'll
hear a beep from the computer's internal speaker. It will also
sometimes beep if I hold down the SHIFT key for an extended period of
time while using a program such as wordpad or notepad. Please note,
this has nothing to do with the Accessibilty Options in the Windows
Control Panel. I hooked up my original keyboard and the problem went
away. I like the Sun keyboard much better but I'm wondering if the
beeping could cause a problem. The motherboard is an Intel 875pbz with

a 2.6 GHz Northwood processor and 512 MB DDR 400 RAM. I have Windows XP

Home Edition installed with Service Pack 1. The computer is not
connected to the internet.

Check Event Viewer.

See of using TweakUI, it's General Tab "beep on error"
setting set to disabled, stops it.

Check Event Viewer.

I checked it and the Event Viewer shows nothing unusual under any of
the headings.
